The Foot-Ball Team* 



T^IIK two things which contributed most to make the Harvard foot-ball team a winning one were the fine 
physical condition of the men, and the good drilling they had received. For the latter we must thank 
Mr. Cameron Forbes, and for the former. Harvard's new trainer. Jack McMaster. 

The season was a successful one throughout, as may be seen by the accompanying scores of the team.

THE PENNSYLVANIA GAME. 

It was a beautiful day when Harvard and Pennsylvania met on Soldiers Field for their annual foot-ball 
match. The Harvard team, in fine physical condition, was hopeful. The Pennsylvania team, with its long 
string of victories, seemed confident. Its confidence, however, seemed to have been placed in one play, the 
famous "guards back" formation, while Harvard had not only been specially coached to withstand this powerful 
play, but also had been well developed in offensive work. 

It was Harvard's kick-off, and the ball sailed high and far. The Harvard forwards swept ahead like a 
wave upon the Pennsylvanians, and Coombs fumbled the kick. Quick as a flash Donald seized the ball, and 
aided by Hallowell's blocking, crossed the line for a touchdown. 

Soon after the second kick-off it seemed as if Pennsylvania's turn to score had come. Instead of 
attempting to pick up the ball on a fumble, McCracken kicked it to Daly, who caught it on Harvard's one-yard 
line, and rushed it ten yards before being downed by the Pennsylvanians. Haughton then punted the ball out 
of Harvard's territory. Pennsylvania immediately set the guards back play in motion, and advanced yard by 
yard in spite of Harvard's resistance. The fifteen-yard line was reached, and, to Harvard's relief, Pennsyl- 
vania missed a try for a goal. 

Neither goal was again in danger till the very end of the first half, when Harvard rushed to Penn.'s 
twenty-yard line. With only a minute to play, Cochrane dropped back to try for a goal, but the attempt failed, 
and the half ended with the ball on Pennsylvania's fourteen-yard line. 

During the second half Pennsylvania's fumbles were frequent, and Harvard eagerly followed up every 
advantage, keeping the ball for the most part in Penn.'s territory.^ About the middle of the half P'arlcy and 
Burnett were substituted for Cochrane and Jaffray. Pennsylvania now took a start and gained thirty-five yards 
but soon attempted a punt, which Boal blocked. From this time on Harvard forced the playing into her 
opponent's territory through fine rushing by Dibblee, Reid and Warren. When Daly made a fair catch on the 
forty-three-yard line, and Burnett dropped back to try for a goal, it seemed an impossible feat, but the ball

went fairly between tlie goal posts. Pennsylvania was disheartened and Harvard played with the dash of a 
vietor. Near the call of time IIaut;hl()n l)locked a kick on I'enn.'s six-yard line, and both Reid and ]5oal were 
sent with effect through the centre, but just as the ball was within two feet of the line, the referee's whistle 
sounded and time was up.

THE YALE GAME. 

On November 2ist the Harvard Foot-Ball Team went to New Haven and defeated Yale, 17 to o. In 
commenting on the game, the Harvard Crimson says : "The result of the game was in no wise due to flukes. 
The score then shows the comparative strength of the two teams. As Harvard outscored Yale, so did she 
outplay her; not in one respect, but at every point, in taking advantage of opportunities, in punting, in the 
endurance and physical condition of the men, and especially in aggressive and defensive team play." 

It was a dark, rainy day, and the field was a sea of puddles when the two elevens faced each other for 
the struggle. Chamberlin kicked off for Yale, and Daly returned the kick. A kicking contest ensued, in 
which Harvard had the advantage. Finally Reid caught the ball near the centre of the field, and advanced it 
into Yale territory. Then Harvard steadily rushed the ball down the field, soon reaching the five-yard line, 
when three rushes by Reid carried the ball across the line for a touchdown. On the punt-out Haughton 
missed an easy chance for a goal. 

After the second kick-off Yale made a slight advance, but Haughton's punting soon told, and a poor 
return by Chamberlin went less than twenty yards, being caught by Reid. The ball was forced steadily on, 
and with a beautiful rush Dibblee scored the second touch-down. Haughton kicked the goal, making the 
score eleven points. The remainder of the second half was a plucky defense by Yale, who stopped Harvard's 
third advance on their five-yard line. McBride punted to Daly, who made a fair catch on the thirty-five-yard 
line, but Haughton failed to kick a goal. Time was soon called, with the ball in the middle of the field. 

At the beginning of the second half Yale started strongly, advancing the ball to Harvard's forty-yard 
line. Harvard then prevented Yale's further advance, took the pffensive herself, and twice worked well into 
Yale's territory, once to be stopped on the twelve-yard line, and again on the five-yard line. Soon a fumble 
by Dudley gave Harvard the ball on Yale's fifteen-yard line. Warren's good rush was well followed up by 
Reid, who carried the ball across for the third touchdown, from which Haughton kicked the goal. For the 
few minutes left for play Yale made a desperate rally : once Eli got clear of all but Daly, who made a fierce 



tackle near Harvard's goal. The next rush placed the ball in front of the posts, and Chamberlin tried for a 
goal. The ball went just under the cross bar, and Yale's last plucky attempt to score marked the end of 
the game.

The Chess Team* 



THE Chess Team lias coiiipletetl one of the most successful seasons of its existence. The local matches 
and club tournaments have all been well contested. It is, however, in the intercollegiate tournament 
that the greatest interest is centred, and it is with satisfaction that we record a Harvard victory in the inter- 
collegiate match, for the fifth consecutive year. 

E. E. Southard, who has represented the University for four years, has the remarkable record of having 
won twenty-two and tied two of the twenty-four games he has played. 

C. F. C. Arensberg, Southard's colleague in this year's tournament, played very creditably, winning four 
out of six games. 

The final score of the tournament was as follows :

The Whist Team* 

THE Harvard Whist Club Team this year was composed of A. J. Halle, N. S. Kelly, C. T. Robertson, G. B. 
Kerper, M. Hyman and R. F. Butts. Its career has been successful, and includes victories over the 
Newton, Newtowne and American Whist Clubs. It completed the season by defeating Yale for the fourth 
consecutive year, by the score of 13 to 9.

The Base-Ball Nine. 

THE history of the Harvard Base-Ball Nine for 1899 is one of persistent effort finally rewarded by victory. 
Too much cannot be said in praise of the spirit with which both coaches and players stuck to their task, 
for it was a lo-ng row to hoe, and their final victory over Yale was truly well deserved. 



FIRST YALE GAME. 

In the closest of ball games. Harvard was defeated by Yale in the first game of the series, by the score 
of 2 to o. It was a fine exhibition of ball playing, and only one error was made by each team. Fitz struck out 
ten men to Robertson's five, but gave three bases on balls and made a costly wild pitch, while the latter did 
not give a single base on balls. It was nip and tuck the game through, till, in the eighth inning, Yale 
scored. Eddy being given a base on balls, was advanced to second by Robertson's single. Then a wild pitch 
enabled each to take another base. Both Eddy and Robertson were brought in by Quinby's base hit. The 
side was then retired with Quinby left on third base. In the ninth Harvard vainly endeavored to overcome 
Yale's lead. Sears, the first man at the bat, being hit by a pitched ball, was given his base. Haughton next 
came to the bat and knocked out what looked as if it were going to be a safe hit, and Sears started for 
second. DeSaulles, however, by jumping, managed to secure the ball, which he threw quickly to first, making

THE SECOND YALE GAME. 



On June 27th Harvard won a very exciting ball game, defeating the Yale nine on its own field by 
the score of 4 to 3. 

Harvard practically won the game in the first inning. Loughlin, the first man at the bat, bunted safely, 
Sears and Haughton both tried sacrifice hits, and both were safe, thus filling the bases. Just then Loughlin 
was caught off third, and in trying to put him out at the home plate, Quinby threw wildly, allowing him to 
score. Reid, the next man at the bat, was put out, but Galbraith made a beautiful single, and Sears and 
Haughton scored. Neither side scored again until the third inning, when, with bases full, Galbraith hit a fiy 
to left field, and Sears scored. Until the sixth it was nobody's game ; then Yale made a grand rally. Camp hit 
sharply to Galbraith, who failed to field it quickly enough ; Sullivan followed with a safe hit. Next Waddell 
hit down, and was thrown out by Reid. Eddy then electrified the crowd by a fine three-base hit, which 
brought in Camp and Sullivan. The cheers for Yale were deafening, but the side was soon put out, and 



19 



Waddell left on third. In the ninth the first three Harvard men were put out in order. Then came Yale's 
last chance, and she played desperately. Cook hit over Sears's head for a home run. This, however, failed to 
disconcert Fitz, who struck out the next batter. Camp, however, got his base and stole second. Sullivan was 
thrown out by Galbraith, and Camp reached third. Waddell, who had previously made a three-base hit, now 
came to the bat, and with him rested Yale's chances, but he flied out to Galbraith, and Harvard had won the day.

THE THIRD YALE GAME. 

On Saturday, July ist, Yale and Harvard met in New York, on the Polo Grounds, for the deciding 
game of the series. It was a game characterized by the nervousness of the players on both sides, though the 
Harvard men were the steadier at critical moments. The game was not the pitchers' battle that the previous 
ones had been, but was won by the timely batting of Harvard. Fitz started to pitch for Harvard, but was 
replaced after two innings by S. V. Morse, who, though wild at times, was steady at some very telling moments. 
Robertson pitched his usual steady game for Yale, and did not give one base on balls. 

Harvard opened strongly, and led 3 to o after the first half of the second inning. Then Yale braced up, 
and managed by good hitting to make six runs. This lead was maintained until the fifth inning, when Harvard 
tied the score. In Yale's half of the inning, however, the bases having been filled by a single, a base on balls, 
and a hit batter, Morse gave another base on balls, forcing in a run for Yale. In the sixth Harvard tied again, 
on hits by Morse, Loughlin and Sears. Morse then succeeded in retiring Yale without giving a base on balls, 
leaving the score 8 to 8. In the seventh inning Yale added two runs to her score, through Morse's two bases 
on balls and Camp's two-base hit. Harvard continued to make a plucky fight, and tied for the third time in 
the eighth, and Yale was put out without a run. 

The ninth opened with Reid at the bat, who made his base on a hard hit to Camp. Galbraith bunted, 
advancing Reid to second, and making first himself on Robertson's wild throw. By a clever bunt Dibblee 
filled the bases; then Clark sent a slow bounder past second, scoring Reid and Galbraith. Fincke followed 
up the good work with a hit to right field, and Dibblee scored the last and thirteenth run, the next three men 
going out in order. 

When Yale came up for her last chance, Morse pitched coolly and with great confidence. Eddy went 
out to Haughton after two strikes. Robertson struck out, and DeSaulles did his best to redeem the game by 



a sharp two-bagger. Ouinby followed with a hard grounder to Galbraith, but the latter fielded it beautifully 
to first, and thus ended the long, exciting struggle. -

The Debating Club^ 



DEBATING took a start this winter, and with pleasing results. Hon. T. Jefferson Coolidge, '50, estab- 
lished a fund, from which prizes were given for the best individual effort in the trial debates. This 
inducement brought out many good candidates, and Harvard had a worthy team. 

The subject for the debate with Princeton was, " Resolved, That a formal alliance between the United 
States and Great Britain for the protection and advancement of their common interests is advisable." S. B. 
Rosenthal, H. F. W(jlff, Wilbur Morse and R. C. Boiling (alternate) supported the negative for Harvard, and 
were awarded the decision. 

In the debate with Yale the subject was, " Resolved, That the present method of electing United 
States Senators is preferable to a method of election by popular vote." Harvard took the affirmative, and 
through the efforts of J. A. H. Keith, R. F. Parke, R. C. Boiling and T. S. Alexander (alternate) was 
successful.

The Golf Team* 



ONE of the newer additions to Harvard athletics is the Golf Club, and it has proved both popular and pros- 
perous. In the intercollegiate golf tournament of last October Harvard won the championship. During 
the first day's play Harvard defeated Princeton, 26 to o, and Yale won from Columbia, 41 to o. The next 
morning Harvard and Yale met for the finals, but the play ended in a tie, 11 to 11. The contest was resumed 
in the afternoon, and Harvard won, 16 to 4. This spring the Club has won two out of three matches played, 
and by its five tournaments has developed much promising material. The composition of the 'Varsity team 
virhich won in the intercollegiate matches is as follows: Choate, Clark, Hubbard, Averill, Curtis, Cutting. 
The individual scores in the intercollegiate match follow :

The Track Team* 

THE record of the '99 track team has been very satisfactory, and perhaps the most encouraging feature has 
been the good work of the new members of the team. The university and class games showed signs of 
promise, and the men went to New Haven in good spirits. 

Yale was defeated by the score of 54 to 41, and the victory brought Harvard the cup, which has been 
contested for in eight meets, Harvard having won five times and Yale three. 

Three U. T. A. C. A. records were broken and one equalled. In the first heat of the high hurdles 
Fox, H., lowered the record by one-fifth of a second. Burke, H., made a new record in the quarter-mile run of 
49 4-5 seconds. Adams, Y., also established a new record of i minute 57 4-5 seconds in the half-mile run, 
and Blount, Y., equalled the record for the hundred yards dash. 

Harvard's showing in the field events was unusual, winning 28 1-4 points out of a possible 40. 

The summary follows : 

100 Yards Dash. 

First Heat — Won by Blount, Y. ; second, Fisher, Y. ; third, Roche, H. Time, 10 1-5 seconds. 
Second Heat — Won by Quinlan, H.; second, Warren, Y. ; third. Green, H. Time, 10 2-5 seconds. 
Final — Won by Blount, Y. ; second, Quinlan, H. ; third, Roche, H. Time, 10 1-5 seconds. 

120 Yards High Hurdles.

58 points. Harvard was second, with 28 points, Yale third, with 22>2 points, and Princeton fourth, with 10 
points. The feature of the games was the remarkable individual record of Kraenzlein, Penn., who won three 
firsts, making a world's record in the broad jump and lowering the intercollegiate record in the high hurdles by 

34 



oiie-fifth iif ;i second. In the c|uarU'r-niilc run Long of Columbia lowered the intercollegiate record to 49 2-5

THE INTERNATIONAL MEET. 

At the invitation of the captains of the track athletic teams of Oxford and Cambridge, Harvard and 
Yale sent a team composed of the best athletes of the two universities to England shortly after the close of 
the college year. On July 22d this team competed with an Oxford-Cambridge team at London, the games 
being won by the Englishmen by a single point. 

The sports were most closely contested, and by a curious coincidence Cambridge won four points for 
the Englishmen, while Harvard, the American Cambridge, won all four of America's points. 

The first event was the broad jump, and the result was as follows : Vassall, O., first ; distance, 23 feet. 
Daly, H., second, 22 feet 3 inches ; third, Roche, H., 21 feet 9 fnches ; fourth, Bevan, C, 20 feet 4 1-2 inches. 

The second event, the hammer throw, was easily won by Boal, H. ; distance, 136 feet 8 1-2 inches. 
Brown, H., was second, with a throw of 122 feet 9 inches, with Greenshields, O., third, with 109 feet 2 inches. 

During the pole vault the lOO yards dash was run, Quinlan of Harvard winning in the closest kind of a 
finish. Time, 10 seconds. Thomas, O., second, two feet behind ; Blount, Y., third, and Hind, C, fourth. 

In the mile, as had been expected, the Englishmen won, with Hunter, C, first, in 4 minutes 24 sec- 
onds ; Dawson, O., second; Spitzer, Y., third; and Smith, Y., last. 

In the 120 yards hurdle race the record was broken by Fox, H. Time, 15 3-5 seconds. Tomlinson, C, 
was second, with Parkes, O., and Hallowell, H., third and fourth respectively. 

The half-mile was an unpleasant surprise for the Americans, being won by Graham, C. Time, i minute 

36 



57 1-5 -seconds. Adams, Y., and Struben, O., crossed the line in the order named, Burke, H., who had been 
in [)oor condition for some time, failing to finish. 

Rice, H., fulfilled the hopes of the Americans, winning the high jump at 6 feet. Adair, O., was sec- 
ond, clearing 5 feet 11 inches; Roche, H., next, with a jump of 5 feet 10 inches, and Tomlinson, C, last, with 
5 feet 6 inches. 

The quarter-mile was another damper on the hopes of the Americans, Davidson, C, running a winning 
race in 49 2-5 seconds. Boardman, Y., was a close second, with Fisher, Y., and Hollins, O., third and fourth 
respectively. 

The score now stood 4 to 4, but according to the general expectations, Workman, C, won the three-mile 
run, which was the deciding event. Palmer, Y., who was second, made a plucky struggle, and kept the race in 
doubt till the last lap. Clark, H., was third, Foote, H., VVilberforce and Smith, O., dropping out.

The Cricket Eleven* 



THE Cricket Team has closed the season with a record of six games won, one drawn, and one lost. It won 
the intercollegiate championship in defeating Pennsylvania by the score of 91 to 35, and Haverford, 96 
to 38. The brilliant work of the bowlers, Lester and Wilder, contributed largely to the success of the eleven, 
and the work of the whole team steadily improved throughout the season. The scores and averages follow :

THE CRICKET ELEVEN. 



Harvard Fencers^ Club, 

FENCING lias h.ul a revival this winter, and the team has turned out well. The victory of most importance 
was won in New York, and gives Harvard the chamiMonshi]) of the Amateur I''encers' League. The 
Harvard team, composed of G. II. Breed, A. B. Lapsley and M. Green, made 36 points. Boston Athletic 
Association was second, with 30; New York Athletic Club, third, with 27; Fencers' Club, fourth, with 11, 
Columbia, fifth, with 5 ; and Cornell last, with 3 points. 

The Gun Club, 

THE Gun Club has been less successful this year than was to be expected. The team was one of ability, 
but failed to do its best in some important matches. The results of the college matches were as follows : 
University of Pennsylvania defeated Harvard by the score of 140 to 134; Harvard defeated Yale by the score 
of 117 to 1 10, the individual scores of the Harvard team being, E. Mallinckrodt, 25; D. G. Kinney, 20; H. 
W. Sanford, 21 ; P. Bancroft, 24; J. McD. Campbell, 27. 

The intercollegiate shoot resulted in the following order: University of Pennsylvania, 117; Harvard, 
114; Princeton, 107; Yale, 103. 

Rifle and Pistol Club. 

THE Rifle and Pistol Club has had a fair share of success this year. In its practice shoots it defeated Bat- 
tery A (Heavy Artillery) by a score of 544 to 513. Later the Club was defeated by Light Battery A, 
497 to 448. In the final match of the year Harvard defeated Yale, 1399 to 1049, the individual scores of the 
Harvard men being, H. M. Channing, 294; L. W. Wright, 263; J. H. Shirk, 294; V. G. Hodgkins, 293; 
G. Bancroft, 255. Total, 1399.

Harvard Rowing* 



HARVARD undoubtedly owes Mr. Lehmann a debt of gratitude for the position she now holds in rowing. 
The interest he started in '96 in this sport has been steadily increasing, until it resulted in the victories 
of '99. Mr. E. C. Storrow took charge of the rowing in the fall of '98, and supervised the autumn rowing. 
During the winter a new boat club was started as a rival for the Weld, and was named after Marshall Newell. 

In March, as soon as the ice had left the river, the crews were on the water, there being, besides the 
three regular upper-class crews, a Law School, a Senior, a Junior and a Sophomore crew from the Weld Club, 
and a Sophomore crew from the Newell. The Freshmen this year were equally divided between the two clubs, 
and formed into four crews. On April 1 1 the club crews, excluding the Freshmen, raced together, the 
Law School getting first; Weld, '00, second; Newell, '01, third; Weld, '01, fourth; and Weld, '99, last. 
Shortly after this the class-crew races resulted in a victory for 1900; '99 second and 1901 last. 

From the material thus developed the clubs each picked two crews, which in turn raced on May 2d, 
with the following result : First Newell, first ; Second Weld, second ; First Weld, third ; and Second Newell, 
last. The winning crew was composed of: Stroke, Harding; 7, Higginson ; 6, Lawrence; 5, Kernan ; 4, Per- 
kins; 3, Adams; 2, Bird; bow, fiawkins; coxswain, Howe. 

From these crews Mr. Storrow picked sixteen men as the 'Varsity squad, though he continually watched 
the other crews, and at a late date changed Evans from stroke of the Weld Junior crew to No. 2 in the 'Var- 
sity. On June 13th the squad of twelve oarsmen and two coxswains was decided on and taken to New 
London. 

Meanwhile, the development of the P'reshman crew was carried on apart from the regular class crews, 
the two Weld crews being coached by Donovan, and the Newell by O'Dea. 

When these four crews met for the trial race on April 25th, the First Weld won in the record-breaking 
time of 9 minutes 21 seconds, or 7 seconds faster than any previous time for the course. The regular Fresh-

man crew was picked from lliis material, and a week or sf) later defeated the Worcester Iligli School crew by 
three and onedialf lenL;tlis. Late in Jinie the crew left for New London, where it was coached by Mr. J. J. 
Storrow and P. J. Donovan, the regular Weld coach. 

THE CREWS AT NEW LONDON. 

The life of the Harvard crews at New London this year was somewhat different from what it has ])re- 
viously been. Dr. Eugene A. Darling was continually with the crew, carrying on scientific medical investigation 
of the condition of the athletes, and it can undoubtedly be said that no crew of the university was ever in 
better condition throughout their period of training. Moreover, through the thoughtfulness of the manage- 
ment, the minds of the men were kept pleasantly diverted from their routine work. The good feeling between 
the Harvard and Yale men, due so much to the influence of Mr. Lehmann, was very gratifying to everyone in 
New London. Times have changed since substitutes disguised themselves as clam-diggers to catch the time 
of their rival's crew, and this year the substitute four-oared crews of the two colleges indulged in scrub races. 

The career of the three Harvard crews was one of steady progress, and on June 29th, the day of the race, 
all fairly outdid themselves. Mr. Storrow's work has been appreciated by everyone, but only those who were 
at New London can realize with what minute care he worked out the smallest details. Messrs. G. S. Mumford, 
J. J. Storrow, H. W. Keyes and Dr. J. P. Hutchinson, who assisted Mr. Storrow, should also have the thanks 
of Harvard men. 

THE FOUR-OARED RACE. 

Soon after the start of the four-oared race it was evident that Yale could not win. Harvard took the 
lead and held it throughout the race. Contrary, however, to many newspaper reports, the crew rowed as hard 
as they could throughout, endeavoring to establish a record, and finished 18 seconds ahead of Yale, in 10 min- 
utes 51 seconds. The Harvard four: Stroke, Blake; 3, Kernan ; 2, Perkins; bow, Endicott ; coxswain, 
Howe.

THE FRESHMAN RACE. 

After one false start, Yale took the lead at the first quarter-mile, and increased it to a full length at the 
three-quarters of a mile, holding it to the mile and a quarter. Here Harvard made a magnificent spurt, and, 
aided by a steamer's swell, which, however, was far from the cause of Yale's defeat, caught up with and passed 
the Yale boat, and crossed the line a winner by two lengths. The time, 9 minutes 33 1-2 seconds, is a new 
record for the Thames course. Following is the record :

THE 'VARSITY RACE. 



The 'Varsity race was the climax of Harvard's success. Harvard rowed a consistent race throughout, 
Yale never gaining an inch. Much credit is due to the stroke, Captain Higginson, who, during the first half- 
mile, when Yale was spurting continually, kept the stroke low, and did not wear out his men. Through the 
miserable policing of the course, the finish was for a moment appalling, as the Harvard shell was forced to pass 
through a crowd of small boats, and narrowly escaped collision. The records, are as follows:
